Offroad setup on budget

Finally some pics are in of my setup in the gallery. They were taken during some offroading.
My setup consists on 2.5" Daystar Leveling kit and 315/70R17 BFG AT on original wheels.
Dispite this truck is a bit heavy, it takes to the offroad with ez.
I'm considering getting 4.10 gears though and some 35" Mud tires later on and wider wheels.
Gonna put K&N filter in, in the next couple of days for added (hopefully) mpg and performance.
This is really a sweet ride, recommend this setup for the budget.

Yes, I'm Icelandic
And we do a lot of offroading, mainly on the glaciers.

Lots of fun but not that cold.
That day (last pics) we had 12°C and some foggy rain.

It sure is. Your (US) Navy base is in Keflavik, where our international airport is.
12°C is about 53°F and to us that's very good this time of year but it only lasted 3-4 days.
Now we are having 32-35°F (brr) but nice and sunny

Keflavik, Reykavik, I was close. At least I had the right country.
Well, have fun and stay warm!
